Michael Carrick will be given the opportunity to turn Manchester United's results around, according to reports from The Athletic, ending immediate speculation about his future following a heavy home defeat.
Carrick's position had appeared under serious threat after United were beaten 3-0 by Bournemouth at Old Trafford, a result that prompted the club's board to deliberate over his future. However, multiple sources now indicate he will remain in charge.
